Sen.-elect Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) Delivers The Weekly GOP Address On The Republican Agenda | |
In the Weekly Republican Address, Sen.-elect Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire explains the Republican agenda for the new year. She says, "For Republicans, the start of the 112th Congress on Wednesday will mark the opening of a new chapter for our country and our Party. We're keenly aware that the American people are relying on us to change business as usual in Washington -- and we're well-positioned to do just that." Sen.-elect Ayotte points out three areas in particular Republicans will be working to follow the clear message of voters: "Job one is to stop wasteful Washington spending. As the mother of two children, I'm like parents across the country who worry that our nearly $14 trillion debt threatens America's economic future and our children's future.... Creating the conditions necessary for businesses to add well-paying, sustainable jobs also tops our agenda. With millions of Americans unemployed or under-employed, we must work quickly to jumpstart our economy.... Finally, and most important, America must remain vigilant in the face of continuing threats from terrorists and rogue states.... My husband is an Iraq war veteran and a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard. As a military spouse, I personally understand the sacrifices that our servicemen and women make to keep us safe. In 2011, we resolve to stand firm with our troops as they continue the war against terrorist networks around the globe." |
